For security reasons, the user password cannot be retrieved. There are no methods in the WOM or any other workaround.

Why you want password, any specific reason?

I am not sure but if you want to use this password for further use(to login), probably it will work if you pass the same password string. Just give it a try.

Hope this help

Hi ,

I need to create another session with the same username, password and domain.
For that I tried with the same password which is returned by the getPassword method , but it's giving "NoSuchFieldError" when i try to login in again.

Initialy, for my requirement I tried to get the worksite interface loggedon session and I tried to pass that session to my application.
For that I used the AppSession object to get the cmsSession in the connector. But I couldn't get the cmsSession. I got the NullPointerException when I tried to get the worksite MP webcomponent (WSMP interface) session.

After that only, I tried to get the loggedon user's password to create a new session.

Can u give me a better solution? My requirement is to get the WSMP interface session in the connector.

Here I am giving thought out of WOM.

First, you are able to get the login cridentials (domain, id, pwd) but password is encoded and you are not able to use this again to create another session. I am not sure here that there will be some way to make it as string again and use it for creating the new session. you can check if there is some way to go with this.

Second, when you passing the AppSession object, again you are getting NullPointerException in your connection application, it means session is not being passed (probably not support). Here I can suggest you one way that might fit to your situation...You can create a http request and add the current session in this request as a attribute and in you connector application you can get this session and perform your operations.

Above is a bit different solution/way to implement this but I am quiet sure it will work. You can also check there is some supported way available for this you may want to contact support for more details.

Hope this will help

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply,

Actualy, there is no problem to pass the appsession to the connector application.
But I was unable to get the appSession in the connector jsp file.

if (session == null)
throw new SessionExpiredException();
AppSession appSession = (AppSession) session.getAttribute(SessionConstants.APP_SESSION);
if (appSession == null)
throw new SessionExpiredException();
appSession.connect();
Session cmsSession = appSession.getCmsSession();

This is my code in the connector jsp file. This code is returning the NullPointerException. That is, i am unable to establish the appsession from the connector.

can you please write in detail about your WSMP and Connector applications and architecture. How you are integrating/connection scenario. Also send how you are passing the session (probably all related code).
